Home-made mac and cheese


ok first I must say I'm proud of myself for trying something like this - free of fear.  I  love macaroni and cheese from the box! lol  but never  thought of making it on my own...as easy as it  appears to be.
It just happened that I ahd some cheeses in the fridge that needed to be used and there was a super sale on boxes of pasta.

This is a new brand from Ronzoni - cooks faster.  Anything that limits my kitchen time is great in my book! lol




















Ok so I googled a recipe online and printed 2 and actually combined them.  Since mac n cheese is fairly simple in my book I took chances changing some ingredient amounts.

I didnt want to buy new cheese...so I used: Gruyere and Asiago and Parmesan.  I know random but thats what I had and wasnt wasting more money.

So I cut up the cheese, cooked the pasta, made the cheese sauce with milk, flour and butter and added to the pasta.

I baked it for only like 10 minutes and everything was good
















So overall I was pleased with this.  I ate it  and enjoyed it but I'm not sure if others would!! lol

That's a big issue with me - how do you know others will like it?!!!
How do you all handle that??

The cheeses are fairly strong  but i like them.lol

Another problem I had was it was very cheesy!  Not a bad thing for me but how do I correct that and make it more loke your kraft stuff??? add more milk??

So overall It was a success!!!
